"What's going on? Say something." Ling Zhenfei hurriedly asked upon seeing his expression.

The man turned his head mechanically, a distressed look on his face, and said to Ling Zhenfei, "They're gone, all gone, everything on the hard drive is gone."

Actually, Ling Zhenfei had anticipated this situation, that this person could come to the security room to take these things, it was impossible to leave without success.

But what shocked Ling Zhenfei was who exactly this person was, and why they wanted to take these hard drives with video information.

Ling Zhenfei had a faint sense that something was wrong, could it be that this individual was coming for him, taking the hard drive so that Ling Zhenfei wouldn't find any evidence at all.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei immediately left the security room and headed toward the archive room, where the most important inspection reports were kept.

This made Ling Zhenfei very concerned, worried whether the terrifying person mentioned by the security guard had beaten him to it.

Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but quicken his pace, the door to the security room was tightly shut, which slightly reassured Ling Zhenfei, but as soon as he reached the door he suddenly smelled a burnt odor.

Ling Zhenfei was startled, how could there be a burnt smell, while he was contemplating this, suddenly the door to the archive room opened, and a person walked out from inside.

This person wasn't very tall, but exuded a strong aura, clearly not an ordinary person at a glance.

And at this time, the person's face was covered with a large mask, only showing the eyes, but under Ling Zhenfei's Perspective Eye, he could still see this person very clearly.

Ling Zhenfei knew that whoever appeared here at this time was definitely not a good person, and this person really resembled the person the security guard just mentioned.

So Ling Zhenfei directly blocked this person's path, and this person hadn't expected someone to be outside, they looked toward Ling Zhenfei.

Their eyes met, as if they had gone through a battle, Ling Zhenfei knew he was right, it was likely this person.

This person seemed a bit surprised to see Ling Zhenfei, but flashed a slight smile, pretending nothing was wrong as they walked forward.

The person strode to Ling Zhenfei's side, and this was when Ling Zhenfei made his move.

Ling Zhenfei reached his hand to grab the person's arm, but the person had been prepared, swiftly dodging and threw a punch at Ling Zhenfei.

Their movements were incredibly fast, exchanging seven to eight moves in an instant.

This was late at night in an area with few people, so their fight didn't draw much attention.

However, their actions were both very quiet, without speaking, just suddenly engaging in a probing exchange.

Ling Zhenfei felt this person was strong, very quick, but he was slightly inferior in terms of Spiritual Energy Cultivation level.

"Who exactly are you, why are you trying to harm me." Ling Zhenfei asked the person.

"Harming you, what do I have to do with that?" The person said coldly.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I think you've already destroyed the materials inside, right."

The person nodded, "That's right, irrelevant information, finished and done."

Even though Ling Zhenfei had already expected it, hearing it said still came as a slight shock.

"Why did you do this, are you under someone's orders?"

The person sneered, "What can you do to me if I don't say anything?"

Ling Zhenfei was already angry and hearing the person say this, he shouted, "If you don't speak, I will beat you until you do."

The person sneered, "Try it!"

With that challenge, the person charged directly at Ling Zhenfei, delivering two punches, both packed with powerful Northern Spiritual Energy, far stronger than during their initial probing.

If it was about Northern Spiritual Energy, Ling Zhenfei had the upper hand, so he channeled his energy into his hands and attacked the person.

Internally, Ling Zhenfei prepared himself to defeat or capture this person, determined to learn why they took such actions.

Ling Zhenfei had no previous enmity with this person; if someone was trying to harm him, it had to be the person backing them.

Ling Zhenfei always questioned who exactly was behind this scheming, trying to target him; as of late it seemed he hadn't offended anyone.

Ling Zhenfei couldn't figure it out and concluded that only by capturing this person could he find out.

Ling Zhenfei's spiritual aura surged, the powerful pressure of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists left the person with no room to dodge, sending them flying with a strike from Ling Zhenfei.

The powerful impact of the spiritual aura reverberated through the corridor, stirring up a gale.

The person hit the wall after being struck by Ling Zhenfei before collapsing onto the ground.

But the person got up again, wiped away the blood from their mouth, and said, "Well, you're truly remarkable."

"Thank you, but if you don't clarify the situation, today being injured will be the least of your worries."

The person sneered, "Arrogant talk, even if my Northern Spiritual Energy is less than yours, if I want to flee, no one can stop me."

After saying this, Ling Zhenfei felt a slight shock, but quickly prepared to capture the person.

Ling Zhenfei stepped forward using the Blooming Step Technique, directly reaching out to seize the person.

But suddenly the person pulled out something from their hand, tossed it to the ground, and suddenly countless white smokes emerged.

This astonished Ling Zhenfei because he was very familiar with this item, it was a ninja's tool, which he learned from Hoshino Meigetsu during his time with Bin Qi Wu.

He even used this Smoke Bomb himself before, it had a shocking ability to obscure vision, even Ling Zhenfei with his Perspective Eye couldn't see through the inside.

Moreover, it was very troublesome even for Divine Sense to probe, making it an excellent lifesaving technique for a ninja.

This guy used the Smoke Bomb now, clearly intending to flee, Ling Zhenfei, without thinking twice, rushed into the smoke.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a cold breeze targeting him from within the smoke.

Startled, Ling Zhenfei didn't expect the person to not flee but to hide in the smoke and ambush him.

He didn't dwell on it, quickly channeling his spiritual energy towards the person's direction.

Bam!

This punch collided with the person's punch, instantly sending the person flying.

Being knocked away by Ling Zhenfei was expected, he immediately followed up with another punch aimed at where the person landed.

But this punch hit empty air, missing the person, and when he tried to find them again, they were already gone.

After the smoke cleared, the surroundings were vacant, Ling Zhenfei spread his Divine Sense throughout the hospital, finding that the person was already outside, chasing them was impossible now.

Unwillingly, Ling Zhenfei walked into the archive room, the people inside were unconscious.

Currently, the computer's mainframe was smoking, clearly sabotaged.

The archives were scattered on the ground, and the documents Ling Zhenfei wanted were likely taken.
